Routine Ramblings of an Occasionally Interesting Texan

December 18th, 2002

My cookie-baking/tree-trimming party is going to be on Thursday night, from 5pm to 10pm, depending on when people can get here, and how late we're still baking cookies.

Flar won't be here to be in charge of the tree, but Wolf has graciously stepped in, as he was already roped into doing the lighting for me.

I've got ingredients for Christmas Cake cookies, gumdrop cookies, caramel brownies, Ro's recipe that involved peppermint, applesauce and cocoa, and lots of chocolate chips and nuts. If you wanna come bake, but you don't have a recipe you wanna make, make one of mine. :)

So far, I expect Ro (& Knight) and Sydb (& Wolf) to be here, and Spydie has expressed interest. Grace said she could come, but something may have come up in the meantime, so I'm not sure about her.

Oh, and as lovely parting gifts, I'm re-supplying anyone who has run short of aluminum foil; I still have bunches from when Pengie brought over a damaged box of it.

I've got this really pretty, sparkly clothesline, with miniature clothespins, in gold, red & green. It's got a permanent home on one wall of the dining room, where it's unobstrusive when not in use. I use it to display Christmas cards.

It's full. I can duplicate it with any pretty string, but I'd like to find more red, gold & green tiny clothespins. If you happen upon them, could you let me know where to find them?
